Delhi zoo's oldest white tigress died on Monday due to liver malfunction, officials said.
Vina Rani, aged around 17, had not eaten anything since Saturday. Profiling of her blood samples revealed that she was suffering from hepatitis, which impacted her liver, an official said.
She was a third-generation white tigress born in the zoo.
The zoo now has three adult white tigers -- Tipu, Vijay, and Sita -- and two cubs born last year to Vijay and Sita.
A white tiger has a lifespan of 12 to 14 years in the wild.
